Who Are Phineas and Ferb and What Exactly Are the Perry Files?

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Are you sitting down? I have to share something with you that may come across as a bit of a shock. I must shamefully admit that I have never, not once, sat through an entire episode of Phineas and Ferb. That's not to say that I have ever made the effort. Quite frankly, I have only seen glimpses here and there while clicking through all the channels looking for something that isn't... well... a cartoon. All I know is that when I overhear people talking about Phineas and Ferb at work, I often hear rave reviews. So I did a Google search and came across an article on Phineas and Ferb on Wikipedia. It is listed as an animated television comedy-musical series that has received a variety of awards and nominations since it first aired in 2008. Hmm... toe-tapping knee-slapping entertainment à la Disney?

In less than a week, Walt Disney Motion Pictures will release PHINEAS AND FERB: THE PERRY FILES DVD with Digital Copy and Perry Activity Pack. P&F fans are shouting out with glee, I'm sure. I, on the other hand, have no idea what the hype is about but I do find myself intrigued enough to commit myself to watching it. I mean, I make sacrifices like this all the time. Sure, I love spending hours on end folding laundry, vacuuming the floors and scrubbing toilets. Isn't that what every mom lives for? But when it comes to making sure that my children's entertainment is in their best interests, all those fun chores can be indefinitely temporarily placed on hold. 'Cause I'm all kinds of cool like that.

Speaking of cool, the disc comes with 154 minutes of featured episodes, a Digital Copy, Bonus Features: Nerves Of Teal and Platybus Tour, AND an activity pack, pictured above. The cost is listed at $24.99 on Amazon.ca, but you can pre-order it for $14.99.

Hold on a sec.

Did I forget to mention that I get to give away THREE copies for FREE?
